Just and FYI, in a 1962 Newport they come right off, and go right back on. I've popped mine off and popped it back on. No damage. Remember it's an old car now. The steel underneath tends to rust a bit and not much holds it in place anymore except habit. mine looked like this one.

whole thing sounds weird to me,,,,,the vin can not be removed with out
destroying it as far as I know, it is not riveted or screwed down, and yes the
S.O. numbers are on the rear shelf and radiator support of the cars, the only
thing removable is the fender tag
Hi
all,
I know this mail list had discussed this in the past. I can't find
it in the archive, maybe someone has it saved and can share. Or knows.
Generally, a fellow with a 1965 Dodge is attempting to find out if the
VIN for his car is stamped anywhere on the car. The painter lost the original
VIN tag. In 1980 the Colorado State police told him that "the original
serial number (VIN) could be reconstructed from the 2 stamped S.O.
numbers on the upper radiator brace and the rear window shelf area. The
numbers are both the same and match the S.O. number on the fender tag.
He wants to get the original VIN for his Dodge.
I looked around
the Web and Mr. Google returned the typical chorus of conflicting
statements:
* VINs weren't stamped into the body until the late 1960s
(1969, 1968). (Various sites)
* Not until 1971 claims

Any
thoughts?
Thanks,
